I would very much like to configure Serv-U in a high-availability cluster. However, we cannot migrate our users from Serv-U's internal user list to a SQL database because Serv-U does not support connecting to SQL Server using Windows Authentication. It supports only SQL Authentication. We have a SQL Server AlwaysOn availability group that would host the database, and degrading security by enabling SQL authentication on the whole cluster is not an option.
In the past, when I have asked about this, I was told to just use SQL Server Express... but then you have a single point of failure when you need to maintain the machine hosting SQL Server Express. The whole idea is to avoid any single point of failure.
As our client base grows, it is becoming more and more difficult to find maintenance windows where we can update the server without disrupting our clients. This is becoming a very pressing issue. Can someone at Serv-U please provide a status update on this? It doesn't seem like it would require all that much code to implement.
